INSTRUCTIONS
Quick, tasty, vegetarian version of the classic Italian meat dish. We
prefer to use a sweet onion with this sauce, such as Oso-sweet or
capellini. The porcini mushroom powder and sun-dried tomato puree were
added to the original recipe to boost the basic flavors. They may be
omitted. If sauce gets too dry, add vegetable broth. Trim stems of
mushrooms if necessary. Quarter each mushroom. In a saucepan, heat
oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft but
not brown: 3 minutes. Add mushroom to the pan, and cook over high heat
for 3 minutes. Add the porcini powder; stir and cook another minute
until aromatic. Add the oregano and cook 1 minute. Combine the sun
dried tomato puree and paste with the diced tomatoes. Add to the pan.
Reduce heat. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make pasta
until just tender. Season the sauce with salt and choice of pepper.
Drain the pasta. In a serving bowl, combine the pasta and the sauce.
Toss to mix well. Serve in individual bowls, topped with shavings of
fresh Parmesan. Garnish with extra oregano, if desired. Serve with an
herb bread and a chef's salad with roasted bell pepper strips (peeled
and seeded). Per serving: 518 Calories; 6g Fat (11% calories from
